Hello
A while back, I had a seizure that caused me to fall on my face and damage my top front teeth. It took sone time, but they’re finally fixed! My dentists and dental assistant are worried about me damaging my teeth again so they made me a custom fit dental guard. The guard is supposed to protect my teeth from grinding as well.They said the guard is optional and that I could wear it for a few hours in the day or in the night while I sleep. However, they keep highly recommending I wear it.… read more
Likewise, back when the dentist I had who told me that I should get the mouth guard (because I was grinding my teeth) told me that I needed a referral from my neurologist (2nd neurologist) at the… read more

If you are having many seizures a day, you may want talk to you Dr. about seizure recovery meds. Lorazepam is, a generic of Ativan and it can help slowing down to stopping your seizures.

The light may not exactly flash but it moves along the side, front to back, of your peripheral vision in one of your eyes. Also, does anybody else get it when you change to light or darker settings? For example, If you walked from a brighter to a darker section of a room, or if a large piece of hair suddenly falls near your eyes and blocks light.
Sure, almost everyone gets this at some point. It is most likely caused by vitreous separation, something that happens to us as we age. Check with your eye doctor to make sure, though.
It’s 1 degree. Feels like -16! Lots of car accidents. Glad I stocked up on groceries last week! Warm and cozy here.
Check out my first flower I am going to dry and frame!

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Sorry I missed this. You are half right but the fact is that whatever scarring you have there in the first place can get worse from seizures in the long term especially if… read more
Mine don't, either. Where are yours coming from? I was told mine could be coming from too deep in the frontal temporal lobe to show up on an EEG.
Ok finally I have a question. I read about a treatment for seizures that triggered by stress and lack of sleep. I cannot seem to find or remember the name of it. Can somebody help me with this?
My Dr. Has me on Clonezepam to help me sleep . For stress I'm not sure what's out there that will not interact will your seizure meds. The best thing to do is talk to your Doctor.
I read that there is a belief that epileptics share certain personality traits, more common/recognizable in those with TLE. I started reaerching it because I felt like I saw commonalities and was surprised to see so much research on the subject. I don't think anyone would know better than us. What do you think?
The short answer is no, the theory of the Epileptic Personality was disproven. The long answer is in the next few paragraphs.
It's a very old concept. I'm talking thousands of years old. People once… read more
There's nothing that I know of that repairs it as of now. Alot of the study is around limiting the spread of brain damage, trying to stop it and developing better ways to care for these cases.
